Summary:
Stark High School is the sole public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in the area, with an enrollment of 121 students. Based on the available data, Stark High School appears to be a struggling school, ranking 796 out of 855 Ohio high schools and earning a 0 out of 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The school's performance across key metrics is significantly below state averages. Its four-year graduation rate is just 51.7%, compared to the state average, and its proficiency rates on Ohio State Tests are dismal, ranging from 5.6% in Geometry to 41.2% in American History, all well below their respective state averages. Additionally, Stark High School has an alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rate of 88.9%, indicating a major issue with student attendance that likely contributes to the school's poor academic outcomes.
While the data does not provide information on the school's free/reduced lunch rates, the consistently low performance across multiple measures suggests Stark High School is facing significant challenges in providing a quality education for its students. Addressing the root causes of the school's struggles, particularly the high absenteeism rate, should be a top priority for the school and district leadership to improve outcomes for the students of Stark High School and the Stark High School district.
